The said project aims to bolster Kanmo Group’s productivity by upgrading its current platform and integrating retail tools and application using Retail Pro Prism, which gives them full control and flexibility in tailoring the product to fit the unique business needs, processes, and brand.

“To truly benefit from our omnichannel strategy, Kanmo Group has to look beyond simply engaging customers through offline and online means. When you look at the customer behaviour in Southeast Asia, you will see that shoppers love to fill up their basket online – but they still prefer to complete the purchase in physical stores,” added Patel. “We want to give our customers flexibility to collect and check out the ‘basket’ they created by communicating with a salesperson or through the real-time Retail Pro Prism POS system.”

Real-time communications in Retail Pro Prism will empower Kanmo Group’s store employees to respond instantly to their changing business needs and customer orders. The real-time interface also enables immediate access to precise data from across the enterprise, which is critical for improving decision making.

Key to Kanmo Group’s omnichannel boost is flexibility to integrate all of their systems in one platform – Retail Pro Prism.

“Our high vision for omnichannel required a holistic approach to managing data, and full integrability in Retail Pro Prism allows us to add customizations to unify all our retail technologies on its foundation,” added Patel. “GenieTech, our Retail Pro Business Partner, fully understands this end-to-end perspective and has been working with the Retail Pro Professional Services team to deliver on the integration project.”

Patel concluded, “Our omnichannel project is dedicated to bringing more convenience and better experiences to our customers. Fortunately, we delivered the full upgrade and integration of software in an astounding six to seven months, whereas the process generally takes close to five years. Working together with Retail Pro, GenieTech, and our other technology partners, we have succeeded in building the right technology foundation for our omnichannel customer experience.”

“We are honored to play a pivotal role in omnichannel at Kanmo Group stores,” said Retail Pro International Vice President for EMEAA, Bevin Manian, “and look forward to seeing how Kanmo Group will keep improving omnichannel efficiency for their customer experience with Retail Pro Prism POS.”

Commenting on the successful rollout, GenieTech Chief Operations Officer Mahesh Gopinath added, “Our team is more than excited for this project. We look forward to supporting Kanmo Group’s vision and digital journey through this partnership.”
